Only Forever

Summary: A little light
Review: An exploration of the deeper differences between two men (ex-husband and new lover) who were externally the same (jocks and playboys) would have been interesting, but this book offered no insight and was very light on character development. As a baseball fan I was also disappointed that Ms. Miller did not seem to do any research. The sports press always identifies a major league picther by handedness -- it's as natural as breathing, 'Lefty Parker Lawrence' or 'big right-handed Parker Lawrence'; plus she had the press comparing him to "Hank Aaron and Pete Rose" -- both known as hitters which an American League pitcher would not be: How about pitchers like Sandy Koufax or the more modern (and American League) Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez or Dwight Gooden? Ms. Miller, don't forget women readers can be baseball fans too.

Summary: Very romantic
Review: I have almost every single book Linda has every wriiten. This was in her top 10. Her heroine was a bit confused about the hero, didn't want to get involved but did anyway. Still the time flew and I loved it.

Summary: love the author; hate the book
Review: I normally love Linda Lael Miller, but I really hated this book. I thought it was totally unbelievable. How could the heroine, who's so fearful of men in general and professional athletes in particular, sleep with a football player almost immediately? The dialogue between them was just silly. There was no "get-to-know-you" chat. The hero started talking like her therapist right from the beginning, telling her to take it easy, go slow, don't be so afraid. Anyway, I ended up just skimming through the book, skipping page after page. I would have rather reread almost any of her other books than waste my time with this one.

Summary: one of the worst!
Review: I started reading this book earlier today, I thought it was going to be an enjoyable read seeing that I liked other Linda Lael Miller books, but this one was a total washout! As another reviwer points out the main charecter, Vanessa, who just went through a horrible divorce and is fearful of all men slightly resembling her husband in any way immediatly falls for another Jock just like her ex. The next day they are joging together and are acting like lovers. This new man, Nick, is the one that is in controll of the entire relationship. Vanessa is shallow and has no charecter at all, all her friends seem to know what is best for her and she follows this, she has no backbone, or should I say brains at all! The converstation was dull, the charecters shallow, and the plot was horrible. I would not suggest this book to anybody!

Summary: BOO!!!!!
Review: I think that this is the worst book that I have read. This story was crappy. It had some potential, but nothing came of it. Vanessa is whiney, immature, childish, annoying and selfish. The problems that she had with Parker to make her so scared are never clear. She never wants to talk about it or even think about it, so you never know what happened and what whe did talk about was not really all that bad to actually scare a woman. I though Nick was areally good guy. Why he stuck around for any of that is anyones guess. I liked Rodney. He was cool. And being that this is the first book that I have read by Linda, it does not give a good out look. The other reviews say that this is not her usual style and usually her books are not so crappy. I hope so. This wins the award of "Worst book read....EVER". Yep, its that bad.

Summary: IT JUST CANT BE LINDA!
Review: Linda is absolutely one of my favorite authors and before this book I thought she could do no wrong. First off, she got the title of her heroine mixed up..instead of Value Van, she should have made it Vulnerable Van, 'pushover' would definitely fit her much better. I hated how the heroine was such as push over, half of the time in the book, she was crying. I found myself yelling at the book telling her to shape up. AND HER FRIENDS! I don't know why her friends are constantly badgering her about Nick.."how could you..leave Nick" She gave up her dreams to be married with her ex and now their pushing her to give up the dreams that was actually forming?

Her character had no spine at all and the hero?..Nick? Had he ever heard the word COMPROMISE? I would understand if he couldn't afford traveling but he owns two restaurants for goodness sakes! Dont make the woman you love choose between her dreams and her love. If Vanessa had any spine at at all, I would have rathered her stay with her ex atleast there she could push him around but even that was bulldozed..literally..I would have sued my husband for all his worth, if he ever said those lies about me..in a book no less!

I didnt even finish the book because I was so mad, the only reason I'd be continuing is because I paid for this book.

Summary: Nick and Vanessa
Review: Nick, the ex-ball player, now owner of a wonderful Italian restaurant, and a woman (Vanessa)he sees on tv, selling the world wonderful gadgets they don't need, meet and go through a lot of mixed emotions. She was dumped on by her ex, also an ex-ball player, so she has a hard time trusting Nick. Through many reservations they travel, but in the end, the good guy wins the girl! If you liked Only Forever, then you'll love Eternal Undying Love by Brett Keane.

Summary: I'm confused
Review: What is this book about? The editorial review says the main characters' names are Kate and Sean, but all the customer reviews say their names are Vanessa and Nick. What gives?
